Ok, I've pinpointed the problem of the disappearing text in Blag 10k. The solution I have right now is to not install pango. Right now, I'm tearing apart Pango. Also, reverting to the older version of Pango allowed me to get my text back. So I'm investigating further, although currently if you are installing a new version of BLAG 10k, DO NOT INSTALL PANGO.

Where did the Pango RPM come form? Fedora? Dag? Maybe try a different source or build it yourself and that would fix this horrible problem. Also, I think it may have something to do with gdk-pixbuf and pango running into each other...

Both pango & gdk-pixbuf are Fedora RPMs.

But /something/ else is going on as there are systems with both installed fine.

The current pango is from Feb 9th, 2004. The errata gdk-pixbuf is from Sep 16th. They did a release on Sep 15th for gdk-pixbuf, then the next day did another release. There may have been a conflict for that day (?). But /currently/ they should work. What versions do you have? Do you have the errata repository enabled? It's enabled by default.

Ok, I installed the most recent gdk-pixbuf and I'm running it just fine. Installing the latest pango still makes the text disappear. I can't do a reinstall now, although next time I reinstall I'll experiment with the order packages are installed. Right now, not installing the latest Pango solves everything.

Heh yeah. Roll in some updates, my pango fix although if you can't get the kernel modules, oh well, just use the kernel that BLAG 10000 used. I'm pretty sure we're all fans of BLAG 10k. The one problem I'm starting to see is that fewer and fewer FC1 RPM's are being rolled out by major repo's and alot of websites...especially non-free software like Skype etc.
